from the Khandwa ?listrlit of u?irthern

The tiger, It Is stated, seized the bar?

and, being unable to withdraw them.
was shot by Captain Harrison, Mr.

The late SIguor Poll, the well known
vocalist once made a very curious
wager with some of his companion
singers at Her Majesty's Opera House.
Some 20 years ago Mepblstopheles .n

"During the civil war," says the
Boston Transcript, "the Law school at
Cambridge was presided over by Pro?

Utlcal views, and each did his best
to maintain hts opinion.
"Professor Parker was one day ask?

at the Law school?*
" "Nicely,' he answered. 'We s
?Kinaliy divided.'
"?But how can that bcr continued
the Inquirer. There are three of you?'
? 'Easy enough,' replied the profess?
